Several weeks ago, my brother shared this one “tiktok” recipe video via the family WhatsApp – steamed egg with prawns and tofu. Looks simple enough to execute, so I thought I’d give it a try.
The result turns out to be pretty good and I thought, certainly worth documenting here at least as my personal reference in the future.

KY cooks – Steamed Egg with Prawns & Tofu Recipe
Never tried cooking steamed eggs. Now I have your recipe to refer to, maybe I can give it a try.
suituapui: can’t wait to see it!
Ooh, such a pretty top. I love meals that are cooked in a single dish.
Monica: thanks 😀
Do you believe that I never cook any steamed egg before? Your recipe will be my first trying, stay tune!
Choi Yen: wah I memeng did not expect that!
I love steamed egg but can never get the consistency right (the ratio of egg to water must be off) + mine never comes out smooth like those at chap fan stalls. Will try your recipe since I’ve also never done it with tofu & shrimps either. What heat do you use…medium?
eatwahateatwhere: actually even high heat is fine, the crucial part is cover the top of the egg.
